This is a really weird one. My <Shift-PF9> key is not getting any response from ISPF, and before you tell me it must be my keyboard or my PC, let me tell you what I've tried so far:
In ISPF <PF9> is assigned the string "rfind" and <Shift-PF9> is assigned the string "rchange". I'm in ISPF Edit and attempt the command "c all agt own", and start hitting <Shift-PF9> in order to find and change selected instances of "agt" to "own". Nothing happens. o I test it by using <PF9>. The rfind command works fine. o I try using the right shift key instead of the left. No response. o I hit both shift keys a few times, in case one of them has got locked. Doesn't fix the problem. o I reboot the PC. No change. o Maybe there's something wrong with my ISPF change command; I "HELP" to <Shift-PF9>. Nope, <Shift-PF9> still garners no response o I type "rchange" manually on the command line; that works, so the problem isn't the command, it's that the keystroke isn't being sent. o I check the keyboard mapping on my emulation; it claims that <Shift-F9> is mapped to PF21. o Ok, maybe it's not the keyboard but the PC itself working with <PF9 but not <Shift-PF9>. So in Outlook I mapped both <F9> and <Shift-F9> to the '£' character. Both <F9> and <Shift-F9> produced '£'. I conclude the keystroke is being sent. I'm out of ideas. If the keystroke is being sent by my PC, and the 3270 emulation is converting it to <PF21>, why does ISPF not respond to it? Any ideas out there? I'll take anything, at this point, no matter how unlikely. --- Bob Bridges, [email protected], cell 336 382-7313 /* All comes out even at the end of the day, and all comes out still more even when all the days are over. -Voltaire */ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
